so far I have fished it 2 times. for total of 11 hrs. only one bite and that was a 21" carp:think: thats it no other bites I fished up by dam down to the only ramp open on lookout. spending hours at each location tried worms,eggs, meal worms, ect hell even powerbait not to mention countless spoons,kastmasters and roosters of all colors. perfect day to fish overcast and all but nothing anyway just thought i would give the bank fishing report lol
i was at lookout yesterday afternoon to visit some campers at ivan oaks campground.
its too full to fish from the bank unless you aready know a hotspot. i think the best way to find a hotspot would be to troll it. it was better years ago when it was only halffull.
I was woundering about that. Just looks like good bass/crappie habitat I figured trout would be spread out lil more ill wait till it gets drawn down a bit and try again only reasion I went there is proximity from my house. Dexter seems to be full of nothing but dang pike minnow I've caught 30+ the last couple times. Stupid question but I caught what I believe to be a carp it was gold with huge lips thought it was sucker but never seen a gold one. I tried to upload pic but couldent see how to do it darn rookie! Lol
i never caught anything there except the occaisonal 9 or 10" trout on the upstream end by hampton but one of my buddies says he used to catch nice kokanee or coho and bullheads from the dam years ago. i'll call him tommorow to findout. there's a rumour that lookout will be a excellent smallmouth bass lake in a few years.
don't know about dexter but i hear they have pikeminnow derbys there. they tag a few for catch and reward.
i'd like to see what you caught...years ago i used to catch huge suckers with bright orange lips on the willy near beltline damn they were gross.
wow went back today just for hell with it i think those rumors are bs lol caught 7 more damn carp and guy in pontoon caught 4 place is crawling with carp
Yup smashed their heads in damn vermon they are shhhhh don't tell carpers! Always wounderd how they tasted but ill take your word for it lol so eather those people telling those storys have a needle in their arm or their tape measure is off lol
That's funny you ask but if Ya need to know I freeze and sell as crab/crawfish bait.
Jeez, the old "I thought it was a Carp, it had a sucker mouth", along with the old "kill 'em, as if it's going to do any good".
Residing in Salem, how did I even know that Lookout contains no Carp?
The "I" word shows itself again.
P.S. You are licensed to sell your catch right? Pretty sure one also has to be approved by ODFW to vend fish caught from our waters (not positive, but if it were the case, I'm sure they wouldn't just give it to anyone).
